People may have accused Town players of ducking their responsibilities in some matches, but one statistic would suggest otherwise, writes guest columnist Sam Wheeler.

While they are languishing in the bottom four of the regular Division Two table, they have surged into the top two of the fowl play pecking order, with 34 yellow cards and two reds.

Sol Davis has been one of the team's most consistent players when it comes to football, and his disciplinary record is no less egg-cellent.

The hen-thusiastic young left-back has risen into fifth place in the individual miscreant's league with eight bookings so far this season, and is said not to be cock-a-hoop at his lofty position.

If the team continues to offend, they may be hit with a fine, but that would be mere chicken feed to Terry Brady, who rules the roost at the County Ground.

There is a reason for all these awful puns. We honestly have no idea what these chickens were doing at the Allied Dunbar ground where Town train. Answers on a postcard please.
